ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 - Eval Question

We've been trialing several products and on the ZENworks Asset Managment
evaluation we ran into a few problems.
We run a mostly Mac shop. There are a handful of Windows machines and
plenty of Linux (Redhat & Debian) servers to go around.
I've gotten it all installed and installed the client on one of the OS X 10.5
machines. I see the zamclient running but I'm not even seeing the client
attempt to connect via the Collection Servers -> View Detailed Status window.
In the About ZENworks Asset Management withing the manager it has
license information listed as below.
Workstations 1
UNIX/Linux Workstations 0
Asset Inventory Evaluation
Asset Management Evaluation
UNIX/Linux Evaluation
Does that mean it will only find one workstation in evaluation mode and
that's why my other workstation with the zamclient installed won't show
up?
Thanks in advance,
-Chris

Next run a workstation query with no criteria to see if it shows. If it doesn't I would validate if you have the correct port settings on the client and that it is communicaiton to the collection server. The collection server will aslo have a log (something like collsvrcore and you should see the machine name in there as it talks to the client. If you're in there then determine if you have rights between the DB and collection server correct or that the port settings are correct.
I know this better actually doing than writing it here so others might provide you a more logical approach to troubleshoot. I will check in again later to see how you progressed.
Thanks, Bryant
I do appreciate your response, I'm sure all of that information will come in
handy when I do get a good evaluation license from them that allows Linux
and UNIX support.
I finally reached some folks at Novell and got a little bit of pre-sales support.
From the sound of what they're telling me the evaluation license does not
turn on the linux/unix support and so I couldn't complete my evaluation
with it due to that. I've been working with them to get a more functional
evaluation.

Asset management upgrade to 7.5 from 7.1

During the upgrade, I kept being told that some services are still
running, which is not. Therefore, I could not go further but cancel the
upgrade halfway. And then when I tried to restart the upgrade, the error
I am getting is "database login is currently blocked. Please contact
novell technical support". So I could not go further either. I tried the
tip in this link
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...i?10098954.htm)
but it does not fix the problem. Here is the log file:

I try to upgrade from version 7.1 to 7.5. The version of MS SQL is
version 8.00.760. What other dependencies could be? I stopped tomcat 5
and all the zenworks asset management services and created the
BypassDBUpgrade registry key following the tid
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...098954.htm)and
reboot the machine. But I still get the same error saying database login
blocked after a prior upgrade failure. I looked at the tip of
http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...0887&sliceId=1
but still do not know what to do. It is very confusing!
I would appreciate it very much if someone can give me some advice on this!
Thank you,

Asset Manager Demo Question

When running the application it displays the words "Asset Manager" on each page in the upper left corner.
How do you edit this title?
Looked in obvious places like Shared Components: User Interface Defaults, Themes etc. but can't see the text.
I've no idea why such an important piece of text would be so difficult to find. Or maybe it's just me! :-(
Thanks!

Try checking page 0 of the application, it is probably there, so that it will carry over to ALL pages....
Thank you,

Assets management and inventory Management.

This may be simple situation often encountered in industries. The need is to manage an item as an asset as well as manage inventory functions of purchasing, receiving, physical inventory and issue of these assets to customers as inventory materials. The materials are also needed to accounted for depreciation functions.
Can experts throw some light on the kind of best practice process flows that we could often consider.
Thanks in advance for contributors.

Good questions: I think I need to explain the full scenario.
This is for a health care industry. The intention is to purchase the materials as assets and these come from different vendors, but often, it could be the same material. The current thinking is as follows:
1. Forecast the reqiuirement of the materials according the different sizes. For example : small, medium and large. Each of these sizes could come from different vendors with different model numbers, but are groupd under the sizes.
2. Based on the forecast probably using APO, the materials are purchased in ERP for these sizes. But we still need to carry the vendor model number as part of the attributes of the materisl. Here there seems to be three options.
- One is to use Material classification and use capture the model number of the vendor.
- second is to utilise the Form Fit Function functionality of SAP IS for A&D.
- Third potential option might be to use Batch management and capture manufacturer number in batch characteristic.
Once the materials are purchases these are settled to assets and then there is a need to manage their inventory as the requirement is to utilise Logistic execution functionality including sales, delivery and goods issue functionality. In addition the materials also need to be transferred between different SAP plant locations.
There is also a challenge to manage the requirement as more often, the need is for just the size. but sometime there is a requirement for a specific model within a particular size.
I am not too sure whether there is an absolute need to manage seralisation for individual material numbers, but from asset management perspective, is there a need> Pl clarify
Any comments / suggestions on the above is very welcome.
Appreciate your time and thinking and value contribution.

Advice On Drobo or DroboPro? LR24 Mac Asset Management

Anyone have problems with Drobo or DroboPro?
I have 2+TB of images, that is growing and will continue to do so.
Thinking of a solution where I use my internal HD (2.7TB Raid 5) for active clients / jobs and then using a Drobo or DroboPro for less active or archived clients / jobs. Also, will get a 2nd one to backup whole thing (Internal HD + active Drobo or DroboPro).
1. concerned about iSCSI - anyone have any experience - speed or connection issues
2. concerned about DroboPro since its new - any experiences out there?
3. concerned about configuration - is this the best way to go or are there better solutions that anyone is using for large image solutions?
I welcome any input great or small.
Thank you,
Stewart

Thanks Ian.
The link was helpful but as always I want more:) would be nice to hear experiences from people who have deployed DroboPro and how its working. Throughput sounds elusive.
I ordered the DAM book, it will be here on Tuesday and I'm hoping it helps out a lot on my other questions asset management - looks like a good one.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

Adobe Bridge As A Digital Asset Manager

I've begun to work more with digital stills in my work with FCE. Bringing stills for touch up into Photoshop CS4 is typically part of the work flow. Adobe includes Adobe Bridge as one way to import the stills.
Adobe also suggests that Bridge is a "powerful program for previewing and managing a diverse array of assets." This suggests that Bridge can be used as a Digital Assets Manager (DAM) for stills, audio, swf, and video files.
The more work we do in media development - the more we need to better manage our media. I'm curious if there are any with experience attempting to use Bridge as a DAM and if so, how it has proved as a viable tool for asset management. Please let me know of any experience or knowledge you may have.
Thanks!

I posted it to this group for three reasons.
1) I'm curious if Bridge really does "bridge" well between Adobe and Apple products or is it really just for Adobe products. With Final Cut, we often find ourselves bridging between these competing companies. Id Bridge a viable solution?
2) Are there viable DAM products out there that media professionals are successfully using and if so what are they and is Bridge one of them?
3) Like many of us on this list, I use FC and Photoshop. Have FC users found Bridge to be a viable DAM solution or not for these tools?
Hope that helps to clarify my question.

Bridge/Prelude/Premiere/Encore, Arrrgh! Workflow/Asset Managment overload! Help.

I've been viewing a tutorial series in addition to some random one's on the web, mostly covering functionality, but what isn't clear to me (yet) has to do with asset management and workflow. I know enough to understand that these two areas are the most important aspects of the whole process; without organized asset management and an orderly, systematized, hierarchical approach to accomplishing tasks the creative side of things will suffer dramatically at the worst time.
Regarding asset management, I have three separate drives for for audio, video, and stills. All the files reside in their original locations except for video files that I originally had stored on my stills drive. These video files were copied to my video drive into the Adobe Folder> Premiere Projects Folder> Project Name Folder. In addition, I have a folder on the video drive called "Raw Footage" that I'm using for random footage unrelated to any project; sort of a personal stock footage resource.
As a practice project for the tutorial series I'm using assets from a 45 day Rail Pass tour I took a few years ago. Assets include SDDV. m2ts, and mov, files with different sample rates, in addition to jpg and psd files.
Where would the following programs come into play and at what point in the workflow does the transition from one to the other begin and/or overlap?
Bridge
Prelude
Premiere
Encore
Where does Bridge come into play and when?
There are folders with m2ts files on my stills drive that I've copied and pasted to my video drive. Should I have used Prelude to ingest and "Transfer Clips To Destination" ("destination" being my video drive)? Should I have transcoded to a less resource hungry format and, if so, does Prelude create an EDL that can be used to conform the final edit replacing the low rex clips files the the original higher rez files?
I know I have to capture SDDV as DV (not HDV) with Premiere but what else do I need to know about such capture? As far as actual editing goes the tutorials are covering a lot of that.
Eventually I'll use Encore to author a proper DVD that is compatible with every DVD or Blu-ray player. Right?
I guess the question could be, "What is yout multi asset workflow?"
I feel like such a noob.
Thanks.

Michael,
I thought that might be the case. Sigh!
Well, as far as I can tell, if I were you, I would offer it with an alI I-Frame option first. That would probably be the easiest to implement cleanly. Those who can shoot that way would probably start shooting that way. Me included.
Then, take the AVCHD from a few of the most popular cameras, Canon, Nikon and of course, the Panasonic DMC-GH3 (my camera) and whatever video cameras are popular right now. Back up to the beginning of the long GOP and finish at the end of the long GOP. There is no need to get too specific with frames for subclips. After all, anyone who does not leave handles on their subclips while ingesting gets what they deserve anyway. In fact, there should be an option to always add one second of handles to every subclip. Personally I would leave that on as a default.
As for me, I recently posted a few videos using different codecs for people to download to test them. The links can be found in this forum post along with a short discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239519?tstart=0
I usually use 50Mb/s 60p using the MOV format, but if I was to shoot anything serious, I would probably shoot 72Mb/s 24p. Keep in mind, that if Adobe made it possible to ingest subclips without transcoding,I would change what I shot to all I-Frame for almost everything, either at 30p or 24p. And if you did it for my 60fps MOV files, I would be ecstatic.
I don't shoot AVCHD but I suppose that so many people do that the moment you gave the feature to all I-Frame shooters, there would be a huge clamor for AVCHD.
In my opinion, this could be a major game changer and everyone who could would start using Prelude without a second thought. Like photographers are flocking to Lightroom 5, this would be the videographers Lightroom. Reelroom? Naw. Prelude is a good enough name.

Manage hardware in asset management

hi all
i'm new at zenworks, so we try to add hardware costs, lifetime, date of order but there is no hardware tab in asset management...
is there any possibility for addig hardware the asset management? or is the only way to add it as software and add some custom fields in it?
is there any database structure, i only found the inventory data for ZCM 10 and asset database structure for 7.5, but not 10.
thanks for reply

Silver software asset management competency

Can someone please confirm that I have understood correctly these things?
Company X wants to get Silver software asset management competency, to do that first step is:
Your company must employ or contract with two Microsoft Certified Professionals
(MCPs) who have each met one of the following exam or certification requirements:
Exam 70-673: TS: Designing, Assessing, and Optimizing Software Asset Management (SAM)
Your organization can attain multiple competencies. If your employees or contractors pass the eligible competency exams
for multiple silver competencies, you can count those exams toward attaining multiple silver competencies.
Do I understand correctly that first we have to get two MCP's and to become one we have to pass any exam (for example, MTA Security fundamentals)? And after that we need to pass Exam
70-673: TS: Designing, Assessing, and Optimizing Software Asset Management (SAM)?
Or do we need just this exam 70-673?
I am confused, can someone explain?

Does anyone know of a good digital asset management software solution for cataloging InDesign files?

Hi all,
I am coming to this forum with this question because this amazing community of design professionals has helped me SO MUCH over the past few years...so I come to you for help once again as I search for a digital asset management solution that will also catalog InDesign files. I first used to use Canto Cumulus many years back, and then used Portfolio Standalone but both of those had their issues and are now discontinued. I am now looking for something else. It is for my small business and needs to handle all of my InDesign files and all associated artwork (I have a HUGE library of files....this also includes all of my image files, pdfs, etc.).
Extensis Portfolio Server is just WAY overkill and WAY too expensive for what I need. Also, the cheapest option (which is $1,999) only handles "thousands of files" whereas I have tens of thousands. I am also not interested in storing my "asset catalog" within the cloud...I just want it stored locally.
Please please can someone help point me in the right direction? I have been scratching my head searching for something...there is SO MUCH out there...the majority of which won't properly handle InDesign files as well, which is a NECESSITY.
Thank you so much as always,
Christine

Purple_Jim, for some reason I just lost my new reply, so am writing again:)
I just checked out the program and one CAN easily update the database when changes are made to the volume(s) as files are added/removed/renamed/moved, etc. This is GREAT!! I am busy trying it out and it is WONDERFUL and EXACTLY what I need! And it is SO SPEEDY too...I LOVE it!
I just had to contact their support tho' as it doesn't seem to want to add in all of the images. It APPEARS to be adding them but not all of the folders are showing up. If I can get this issue sorted out then this program would be IDEAL:) It's great to know that you haven't had any issues:) That gives me hope as this program looks PERFECT!!
Thank you so so much for letting me know about it:)
**UPDATE**
In CASE you can shed any light on my issue...
I just did some more testing and it seems that the problem occurs if/after I hit “STOP” when the volume is being scanned. Once I try to update the volume after that so that I can continue adding images, then it seems that nothing is added to the directory in Tri_CATALOG after the point when I chose to hit “STOP”.
It does not seem to be cataloging everything:( I just tried adding a new volume but it appears to have stopped adding images to the database even tho’ it SEEMS as if new items are still being added in the “Scan Volume window”.
Here is an example: The image below labeled “469-00625” appears to have been added to the “Clients/Ascot Supply Corp./Buyer’s Guide/2014 Buyer’s Guide/Archive/z_buyer’s guide image library_jpg/06_valve hardware/JPEG” folder but when I do a search for the image it cannot be located, and this folder also does not appear in the catalog directory (second screenshot below). No matter how many times I try to update the volume, the number of images for the “Clients” folder below remains at 811 pictures (as if it has stopped scanning, even tho’ new ones are still being added) and I am not able to add anything else. The Tri_CATALOG database appears to have stopped adding images after the “2011 Buyer’s Guide” folder below even tho’ there are still several new folders still need to be added….see third screenshot for ACTUAL directory on the volume.
From Tri_CATALOG: (Won’t add anything else below “2011 Buyer’s Guide"
Screenshot of ACTUAL directory from volume I am trying to scan into Tri_CATALOG:

Aperture as a Multi-User Digital Asset Management Tool

Does anyone have any experience using Aperture in a multi-user environment? I'm trying to compare it to Cumulus by Canto which is designed as a multi-user tool.
I realize that each user would have a copy of Aperture on their Mac, but are there other issues that are not such as multi-variable searching capabilities of one versus the other. My gut tells me that Cumulus is more robust and can handle much larger libraries as well as all types of digital data and can search within document such as InDesign for a particular image.
Thanks
--Mitch

There is no possible way you can use Cumulus and
actually save money.
I don’t expect to save money. I expect to save time finding info, and avoiding duplication of almost everything we have
Stepping into digital asset management is a far bigger
issue than your boss can imagine. Try not to take this
personally, but your initial question about using
Aperture as an enterprise or workgroup DAM suggests you
have no idea what you're suggesting or possibly getting
into. Canto is all smoke and mirrors unless you can
afford the training and have dedicated, competent and
engaged support personnel.
Nothing taken personally. The question was asked because management is promoting Aperture as the end-all and be-all of imagement, whereas I’m looking for a tool to manage all our documents
Before you go much further, you need to understand
databases and you need to understand that DAM's return
on investment is not about saving money, it's about
preventing the spending of money; a huge difference and
there are few mgrs who can parse that difference from
the sales hype. Buy a copy of "The DAM Book" and try to
get someone to explain databases, cataloging
applications and server-based storage to you.
I understand databases quite well, but I will get a copy of the book you mentioned. I am running an Xserve in my environment, so I do understand servers and OS X Server.
I wish you tremendous luck and hope your experiences
are better than most of the Canto customers I have ever
met, including me. You just have no idea how expensively
wrong your decision to employ Cumulus could turn out to
be. Not that it's a bad product (although we thoroughly
despise it); it's sold as a miracle. Cumulus is a
supremely complex (not necessarily complicated),
over-designed and totally un-Macintosh application.
What version of Cumulus are you using, and why are you so unhappy with it? May I contact you off line to discuss this?
Thanks for the reply

Digital Asset management

Hi all,
I've been using idImager to keep track of photos and videos. The one problem I have found with this product is setting it up in a collaborative environment.
I was wondering what people are using to keep track of the digital assests and where they are used.
The things I need to keep track of are:
Images
Video (complete and clips)
Audio files
Cubase and Ableton Live projects (and their assets)
Adobe project files
CC Prelude looks like it is only usefult for video clip pull in.
Any ideas?
I wasn't sure what forum to post this in. If there is a more appropriate area let me know
Thanks
Ian

We use WebDAM for collaboration and digital asset management. Its an awesome DAM Software . For all design activities, our entire team uses Adobe Creative Cloud. They both seem to work really well together. Managing your images, video (complete vids and clips), audio files, projects, adobe files, and almost any file is completly supported. WebDAM also allows us to control versions, edit and control metadata, supports EXIF and XMP metadata standards, comment on assets, automatically convert file formats, set expiration dates, get automated alerts when others work on files, easy search, viewing capabilities, control access, and share/secure/collaborate on our files anytime from anyplace. Its super easy to use. Our team also loves the video module which allows you to serve your videos and clips to various websites, control versions, etc. haha, sounds like a sales pitch. I'm pretty sure Intel, New Balance Shoes, Santa Cruz, Symantec, GE, bunch of design agencies, and almost every college uses WebDAM. Being near Adobe's headquarters in Silicon Valley, I think their software engineers interact with Adobe consultants as well.
But I guess the question is, are you looking for something to use for your entire team, company, or just for personal use? That will determine what type of software you should be looking for.

Equipment/asset management with LabVIEW

I would like to write a basic equipment/asset managment program with LabVIEW, since I just haven't liked the commercial ones that I have tried for various reasons.
My question is how can I manage the information using LabVIEW...? Is there any way to create a small database file (perhaps *.csv) with LabVIEW and be able to easily update the fields in that file as the asset status changes?

You can, but you should use a real database. NI installs the free version of SQL Server when you load the data supervisory control toolkit (and leaves it there if you uninstall the toolkit). MySQL and SQLite are available online and Jet is built into Windows.
Don't however use the database connectivity toolkit -- not worth the effort.
